Oh, that's cool, I respect that.

Anyone know offhand their stance on jackbooted thugs kicking in the doors of people who write emulation software and sending them to prison? Just trying to get a pulse on that

Nintendo is probably the most anti emulation company. They tried to make emulation completely illegal, they sued yuzu (the devs did some things that encouraged that) and made the devs pay a couple million and never develop emulators again. They are also the reason why dolphin didn’t come to steam as they wanted to sue valve if they allowed it on their platform. They also took down various tools that allowed one to rip your own switch games. I think they are for the second point

Pretty sure they're on the pro side of the latter

In this interview he claims he was simply paid to develop like a contractor and the people running the business still haven't faced consequences: https://darknetdiaries.com/episode/136/
